2. I Don’t Like That!

3. The Importance Of The Word
It comes from God (2 Tim. 3:16)
It is a guide (2 Tim. 3:17)
It will save (James 1:21)
It will judge (Jn. 12:47-48)

4. Attitudes Toward The Word
It depends on your interpretation
A result of a lack of personal investigation/study
Multiplicity of denominational doctrines
It is not understandable
Too complex for ordinary folks
Full of fables and “mumbo jumbo”
It was written by men
It lacks compelling authority
It does not come from a higher source

I don’t like that!

9. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matt. 7:13-14)
I don’t like that!

10. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matt. 11:28-30)
I don’t like that!

12. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Matt. 7:21)
